CNET UK reviews Virgin Media's TiVo

CNET UK's long awaited and in-depth review is online, and reviewer Charles Kloet awarded the box 3 and a half stars out of five:

There's much to like about Virgin Media TiVo. For existing Virgin Media customers, it's miles better than the old, slow box underneath your TV and definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

For everyone else, it's not such a must-have. TiVo has the potential to be the perfect PVR, but we can't help feeling that what's needed is the perfect on-demand box. There are too many niggles, inconsistencies and annoyances at the moment, although things may get better in time as the software is improved.
